Page 5: Commercial Playground Safety Guidelines
Commercial Playground Safety Guidelines Playground operation is multifaceted. It’s no longer the ‘good ole days’ when you bought swings, teeter totter, and merry-go-round, found open space and put them in the ground. Equipment has changed so much and one has so many options. Too many to name in fact. One thing that is consistent is the need to choose equipment that is compliant for public playground use.
Page 6: Safety Surfacing
Safety Surfacing According to data collection by NEISS, three quarters of all playground related injuries that has required emergency room visits have resulted from falls. Specifically, falls onto inadequate playground safety surfacing. The playground area, both around and underneath the play structure, must be covered with an accessible, impact attenuating surfacing material to help reduce the risk of severe or life-threatening injuries from a fall from the equipment.
Page 7: Use Zones
Use Zones The general rule for use zones for equipment are a distance that should extend a minimum of 6' in all directions from the perimeter of the equipment. Some equipment may have overlapping use zones if certain criteria are met. An example is the use zones of two stationary pieces of playground equipment that are positioned adjacent to each other may overlap to a distance of 6’...

Page 32: Loose Fill Surfacing Maintenance
Loose-Fill Surfacing Maintenance Surfacing should be checked regularly to ensure it has not displaced significantly, particularly in playground areas most subject to displacement (heavy traffic areas such as stair entry and slide exits). Displaced loose-fill surfacing should be raked back into the proper place to maintain a constant depth throughout the playground area.
Page 33: Supervision Guidelines
Supervision Guidelines Even playgrounds that are designed, installed, and maintained in accordance with safety guidelines and standards can still present hazards to children in the absence of adequate supervision. The goal of playground safety is to remove hazards and minimize injury while playing, but these risks cannot be eliminated entirely. Because all playgrounds present some challenges, and children can be expected to use equipment in unintended ways, injuries can occur.
